A Dog's Life

One day, mommy went to Petsmart and they had me in a cage at the front. She thought I was very cute, but since she already had 6 dogs, she decided not to pursure it.

Well, a week later, she went back to the same Petsmart and I was still there! How could she deny me a second time?

Well, she couldn't, so she filled out a five page application and brought Blaze, my future big sister, to meet me. We seemed to get along fine and so she went home and waited to hear back.

Five days later, they called her and said to come get me! They had named me Houston and mommy refused to have me named anything to do with Texas (the shrub was president at the time) so she changed my name to Rubio.

She had me for 4 short years before I died in her arms (a story for another day) and she says I was the best dog she ever had! (But don't tell Tango!)
